Free First Draft Ebook of The Butterfly Dragon I: Heroes Of Our Own - The Author's Edition

Following the same plan as all my releases 25% of the return on each unit sold will be divided up between several charities that reflect the story line of the book. That is real life cutting edge research that is saving lives and enabling those born with such diseases to cope, overcome and even cure them.

The total will be divided up amongst these charities equally and donated in the nearest sum allowed for donation.

Royalties on book sales are paid in multiples of $100 and therefore are not received until this amount or multiple thereof has been met. Charities are paid as the royalties are received and not before. If any such payment is forwarded before the receipt of any royalties, you the readers will be notified here accordingly.

Donations paid out of my own pocket (the author of The Butterfly Dragon I: Heroes Of Our Own) will also end up here.

About The Author

Of Crucial Importance

The Butterfly Dragon, all of it's characters stories and plot line were developed from 1981 from a short story called The Field And The Flower. Twice between the period of 1981 and 2012 I attempted to flesh out the story coming up with the idea for a superhero based story.

In early 2012 from my meager bachelor apartment in the Regent Park area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, I sat down for a third time and began penning what would eventually become The Butterfly Dragon I: Heroes Of Our Own. There have been many inspirations for the story from family, friends and acquaintances but for the whole time I've been the only writer working on the project.

If there are any similar stories, their similarity is a coincidence or they've been taken from this story throughout it's development.

Be aware, that in some places even in the free world, there are gangs of plagiarists who spy illegally on the computers of others and use that ability for the purposes of theft of creative and intellectual property. It is not taken seriously by many authorities and is compromising the future of many potential artists and entrepreneurs, perhaps any country's most valuable asset for future commerce. Such gangs and groups almost destroyed this book and accompanying charity effort completely.

The stories are not produced for or by Prince Hall (with all due respect to the real Prince Hall) or at Dixon Hall Heyworth House. Nor are they produced at Videolink Inc (once again with all due respect to that innovative company).

I am a Buddhist and of sound mind that believes that we are all free to choose our own beliefs or not to choose to believe anything at all.

To be offended that we are *not* of a particular culture or religion is just as racist and intolerant as it is to be offended that we *are* a certain culture or religion.

I Brian Joseph Johns, the writer am Caucasian and my love interest is Mandarin Chinese. I would never side with any ideology that would oppose such a relationship for any reason in that regard beyond the age or consent. I am 49 years of age and she is older so I believe that age is not a barrier in this instance. I would certainly never be a part of any ideology that would prove a hurdle on the basis of any cultural mix between people.

Nor would I ever pay for anyone's blood whose ideals was not similar to mine.

Nor would I ever be a part of any ideology who considered me and treated me as being "dead" unless I had paid for the blood of one of their members in order to be recognized as being alive or "not dead". As if what I've accomplished came from "ghosts" and was free for the taking by grave robbers and thieves alike.

Until this is officially investigated by the civil authorities, entrepreneurs, artists and free thinkers are at risk everywhere.
